"Hi Dean, I have a question on the Attopilot Current/Voltage sensor working with the APM2. I have V OK but Current seems to be dead out of the 169. I got two this way. Any thoughts on what might be wrong? Steven"

Hey Dean, I live in Queen Creek. Your profile picture looks like you are standing in my back yard.

Actually, I am just starting RC flying in general as a hobby. I bought a Slow Stick as my first plane and I need to learn to fly it first. Once I get the hang of that, I will start to build my UAV. I've already built autonomous vehicles before, but that was on the ground. I've even built an underwater ROV before too.

If you are in the Queen Creek area again sometime, would you mind if I tagged along?

We are looking to purchase your atto pilot system in quantity for use in our Marcus systems, where are you at with your production?

Are you getting close to getting your production run in yet? How about the atto 3?
